Sheree Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 try cleaning the fitv..thats more likely the issue. What's a fitv? Sorry, not a mechanic... My Civic does this too. Starts off okay, but then when I'm sitting at a red light, it'll idle really low, especially when it's hot outside with the A/C on. Sometimes it even stutters like it's gonna stall, but then all of a sudden it'll rev up again, as if the computer is preventing it from stalling. My mechanic adjusted the idle, but that seems like kind of a kludge to me. I'd like get it actually fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheree Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 This may be useful to you. I guess that's not my problem, then... That page says I don't have a FITV, as I have a 2000 Civic. Are there any other directions to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
